About this map

Wylies Peak stands at the headwaters of a complex drainage system in Idaho County, where the high country of the Bitterroot National Forest defines the landscape. The terrain is characterized by prominent divides such as Wylies Ridge and Goat Ridge, which separate the flows of Elk Creek and Goat Creek. Further south, the map identifies specific landmarks like Diamond Rock and the distinctively named Box Car Mountain, providing a detailed look at the geographic naming conventions used by the Forest Service and U.S. Geological Survey in this era.

The hydrological pattern is dominated by the many forks of Goat Creek and the southern reaches of Grouse Creek. These waterways, including North Fork Goat Creek and South Fork Goat Creek, carve deep valleys between high points like Archer Mountain and Patrol Ridge. This 2011 survey documents the undeveloped character of the region, emphasizing natural landmarks and named ridges over human infrastructure.
